An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being Chapter 118

Episode 118: The grass is greener on the other side

“Shia, is that okay? You don't have to force yourself to let her join the party, you know?”

 The next day, after spending the usual time of terror in the morning, I once again talk with Shia about yesterday's discussion with Amane about the party in the classroom.

 It can't be changed because it's already decided, but I still care.

“Hmm. OK. Just party for practical training. Can't join our explorer party.”

“Ngigigigigigigigigiii.”

 I ignore Aki, who has bloodshot eyes beside me.

“Oh, I see.”

 She was using a way of talking that had some kind of connotation, but is that what she meant?

 Shisan, isn't that absurdly atrocious?

 Because that means only Amane won't receive the benefits of sharing experience points, right?

 I think it's pretty bad bullying.

“Let's form a proper party for the practical training, okay?”

“Hmm. Can't be helped.”

 I can't overlook it, so when I warn her, Shia replies with a slightly disappointed voice.

 Were you really going to do it?

 It seems that it was just my imagination that she had mellowed.

“Ngigigigigigigigigiii.”

“Aki, it's time to fix your mood.”

 Aki has been glaring at me and Shia – mostly me – since morning while gritting his teeth. Because of the incident with Amane joining my party yesterday, he was building up his jealousy towards me.

“Shut up!! Why!! Why is it always you!! You're always getting along with pretty girls!!”

 I can see the other men near Aki nodding.

 Do your own thing instead of eavesdropping!!

“Seriously, that's a terrible misunderstanding. I already told you, my relationship with Shia isn't like that, right? Right?”

“Hmm. Just a normal Nanamin approved relationship.”

 When I asked Shia to confirm, she answered as if it were natural with a proud look.

 That's why, don't say such instigating things as if they were a matter of course!!

“No matter how you look at it, she's your sister-approved lover in every aspect!!”

“I told you, it's different. My Imouto asked Shia to keep women away from me. How does that classify her as my girlfriend.”

Because Shia affirmed it as if it were natural, Aki yells at me. Also, the nearby people nodded in agreement. While sighing, I frantically tried to clarify it.

“Fuck. Aren't you popular!!”

“What are you saying … The Student Council President approaches me one-sidedly, and I only just met Amane. It's not like that.”

 It's not like I'm surrounded by love either …

 A classmate who grasped my weakness and with whom my guilt has accumulated over time. An ominous Student Council President who lies in ambush and then claims it's a fateful encounter. And an explorer who, I don't know why, is approaching me for some purpose.

 The only people around me are these strange people.

“Haa, don't try to tell me such luxurious worries. If you're a healthy High School boy, you should be happy just to get acquainted with a beautiful girl!!”

“You don't even know how I feel …”

 It's not a story that anyone is fine as long as they are a beautiful girl!!

 If I can change, I want to change.

 I've gotten used to Shia quite a bit, so it's good, but the other two I can't feel at ease with at all!!

“You!! For me!! I told you I want to make a harem, I am in a party full of men, the Senpai's I'm on good terms with are all male. I don't have a younger or older sister. I don't even have a cute childhood friend!! Do you know how painful it is!!”

 Aki sheds tears like a waterfall and appeals to me. The guys in the surroundings were crying too.

 It has nothing to do with you guys!!

 Besides, Aki, your conclusion is completely unrelated, isn't it?

 In the first place, all the girls are drawing away because you stated you wanted to make a harem!!

 Fix that first!!

“Yes, yes, anyway, I certainly understand ~ .”

 I swallowed what I was going to say, in disgust at him sulking.

 No matter what I say, this guy won't listen.

“Haa … There's no girl who talks to me.”

“Aki, Yoshiyoshi.”

“Uuu. I'm happy to be petted by a beautiful girl, the 'nadenade' of a girl with a boyfriend, really touches my heart …”(TN:He's totally being treated as a dog.)

 Aki collapsed on my desk and cried.

 Shia petted Aki's head with an unusually expressionless expression.

 She might feel responsible that she has done something bad somehow.

 Receiving her kindness, Aki wets my desk even more with his tears.

“Aki, you bastard, I envy you being petted by Alexichan!!”

“That's right, I thought he was a companion, but it seems that he was also a traitor.”

“Kuuh. Unforgivable. I have to consult with everyone in the SSS …”

 The men around him, who were on his side until just now, suddenly harbor hatred towards Aki.

 Are your ties that light?

 Whatever, I don't care about that sort of thing.

“Rather than that, Aki. Wipe my desk properly, okay?”

 I say that as I look at Aki's tears and drippy nose at my desk.

“Are you an Oni!?”

“Dunno!!”

 Aki yelled with snot and tears dripping down his face, so I cut him off and threw him away.
